The Heart of the Buddha by Chögyam Trungpa Shambala
This compelling collection of essays, talks, and seminars by Chögyam Trungpa presents the basic teachings of Buddhism as they relate to everyday life. The book is divided into three parts. In "Personal Journey," the author discusses the qualities of openness, inquisitiveness, and good humor that characterize the enlightened Buddha-nature in everyone. In "Stages on the Path," he presents the three vehicles--Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana--that carry the Buddhist practitioner toward enlightenment. In "Working with Others," he describes the direct application of Buddhist teachings in such areas as relationships, children, and money. Chögyam Trungpa's great appreciation of Western culture combined with his deep understanding of the Tibetan tradition makes these teachings uniquely accessible to Western readers.
The
Life of Milarepa by L. Lhalungpa
The Life of Milarepa is the most beloved story of the Tibetan people and
one of the greatest source books for the contemplative life in all of
world literature. This biography, a true folktale from a culture
now in crisis, can be read on several levels: a personal and moving introduction
to Tibetan Buddhism, it is also a profoundly detailed guidebook in the
search for consciousness. It presents the quest for spiritual perfection,
tracing the path of a great sinner who became a great saint. But it is
also a powerful and graphic folk tales full of magic disaster, feuds,
deceptions, and humor.
